At this moment, the public S-rank mission – Save the Third Princess, agitated all the players.

“S-rank mission, the king’s reward… I’m sorry, everyone. The Third Princess is mine. I’m ultimately going to be the prince!!”

“I’m afraid I’ll get a few divine artifacts if I complete this mission, right? I’m so envious… When will the position of the Third Princess be announced??”

“The most difficult part of this mission is not how to find the Third Princess, but how to snatch the Third Princess from the hands of others and return the princess to the Templar City safely…”

“That sounds about right. There are NPCs involved in this S-rank mission. The difficulty of snatching the Third Princess away from others is simply heaven-defying.”

“Hey, why isn’t everyone paying attention to who kidnapped the Third Princess? Since it’s an S-rank mission, the person who kidnapped the Third Princess must be sublimely paralyzing, right?”

When they heard this, the group of players shifted their attention away from the mission reward and started discussing who the main culprit was.

Most of them thought it was some powerful NPC, or else it would be impossible for him to do such a thing.

Some people also guessed that a top-tier player did it, but no one took it seriously.

How could ordinary players do it if they wanted to snatch someone from Templar City’s hands?

It would still be strenuous, even if they added the top ten players on the ranking board together.

Not long after, the envious and indignant players from the Covenant of Evil faction heard the system notification simultaneously…Save the Third Princess.

The quest level was also S-rank.

This time, the players from the Covenant of Evil faction immediately trembled.

“Hahaha, the bastards from the Oath of Light faction want to return the Third Princess

to Templar City? What the f*ck are you thinking?!”

“I wonder if we can recruit an A-rank hero after we use the Third Princess to recruit skeletons? Forget about an A-rank hero. It would be a meteoric rise if we can get a B-rank hero!”

“Hahaha, brothers, I’ll go scout the way first. My undead troop is already hungry…”

The discussion continued…

The players from the Oath of Light discussing the intense competition were instantly dumbfounded.

‘This is our mission, and your Covenant of Evil faction wants to get involved.’

They instantly felt that the difficulty of this mission was increasing rapidly.

However, the rewards of an S-rank mission could go to the heavens.

Without hesitation, they immediately set off for the outskirts of Templar City.

According to the news released by Templar City, the other party had already kidnapped the Third Princess and left.

Judging from the difficulty of an S-rank mission, the other party could not just stand there and wait for them.

Some players were quick-witted. While they set off to search for the Third Princess, they secretly began to hunt down players from the opposing faction.

Killing a lord would earn them 1,000 points.

In their eyes, the lord of each opposing faction was a walking point.

In just one or two hours, the clash between the players from both factions outside Templar City was countless times more intense than the previous few days.

After they waited for three long hours.

Suddenly, the entire forum erupted.

It was because a message suddenly appeared in the minds of all Oath of Light players. What followed was a flash point that appeared on the system map. And the words “Third princess” were marked on it.

“F*ck, is this the function of the Templar City’s artifact? It can directly send us information about the enemy. Is that artifact called the Big Dipper Satellite?”

“I saw the Templar City troop rushing in the direction where the Third Princess appeared!! Don’t let the NPCs get there first!!”

“It’s 100 kilometers west of Templar City. Quick, everyone, charge!!”

“Hahaha, Third Princess, your prince is coming to fetch you back…”

The exchange of boastful words continued.

******

One hundred kilometers west of Templar City.

‘Puchi!’

An undead player from the Covenant of Evil faction could not escape after the enemies cleared the last skeleton soldier who suddenly attacked.

An arrow pierced its head, and its corpse fell to the ground…

Feng Ge looked at the white bones lying on the ground and nodded in satisfaction.

“Clear the battlefield!”

“Yes, Guild Leader!”

More than ten players at the back immediately commanded the troop to clean up.

Feng Ge ignored everything else and opened his attribute panel.

The attack he had just launched had earned him a total of 2,000 points.

As the second player on the ranking board, he had finally earned 100,000 points after this battle.

No one knew how much he had suffered in the past few days to obtain points.

He had been hunting the enemies of the Covenant of Evil faction almost day and night.

But even so, he was only…second place.

That’s right, second place!

He opened the ranking board and glanced. The two words “Qingqiu” above his name were entirely glaring.

It had been three and a half days. Feng Ge had not moved for the rest of the time, other than the points obtained in the first hour.

At first, he did not think much of it. Qingqiu was able to earn 130,000 points in an hour. How could he be weaker than others?

However, after fighting the enemies in this dungeon, he realized how wrong he was!

How many of the 20 billion people who could stand out were weak?

There was no shortcut for him to earn points. He could only kill them one by one.

The more he fought, the more his confidence collapsed.

Qingqiu’s 130,000 points were like a heavenly gully to him, simply unreachable.

After Feng Ge saw how difficult the enemy was to deal with and how difficult the points were to earn, he realized how ridiculous the value of 130,000 points was.

Under his observation, the mentality of the other players had also changed. At first, there were still people who doubted Qingqiu.

But after a few days, after knowing the difficulty of obtaining points, no one said anything more.

Qingqiu could obtain 130,000 points in an hour. But they could not, even if they worked hard a few for an entire day…? Doubting Qingqiu, wasn’t it just themselves?

But, he would never admit defeat!

Feng Ge gritted his teeth. His stare was dauntless.

He would ultimately trample Qingqiu under his feet, he swore!

He turned his head to look at the players behind him.

“If you don’t have any treasures, then don’t waste any more time. Get ready to set off and search for the Third Princess.

“This s-rank mission is the first public mission in the dungeon. We will ultimately reap a huge reward if we can complete it!

“As long as we can get a share of the loot, it won’t be any lesser than the rewards from fighting for the ranking board.”

As Feng Ge spoke, he took a deep breath.

“Qingqiu is already an officer of the Templar City. He will indeed participate in this mission. We must not let him trample over us again!”

A dozen players behind him were members of the guild he had established. That is why he had the confidence to compete in the ranking battle.

As he spoke, his tone became colder.

“Life and death are determined within a dungeon.

“Once you discover Qingqiu, even if you have to pay a certain price, as long as there’s an opportunity, immediately eliminate him!”

“Yes, Guild Leader!”

More than ten players nodded in unison. With so many of them, they couldn’t even compare to one Qingqiu. That made them extremely angry.

At this moment, a stream of information suddenly surged into Feng Ge’s mind. After that, the system map began to flash.

The Third Princess’ location!

Feng Ge’s eyes lit up.

What made him even more breathless was..! The location was only a few hundred meters away from them!!!

A tremendous surprise of finding a treasure rushed into his mind.

“Quick!! Chase after her!!

“The Third princess is not far away!!”

After saying that, Feng Ge immediately waved his hand, and more than ten griffins covered in mixed-colored fur and looking a little sloppy flapped their wings and fell from the sky.

Mixed-haired griffins, elite troops.

Feng Ge immediately led more than ten players and rode up.

The troop below quickly followed from the ground.

A distance of several hundred meters was only a few breaths’ time under the speed of flying troops.

After they rushed out of the forest, Feng Ge immediately saw a scene that quickened his breathing.

A giant mechanical puppet more than 15 meters tall floated in midair.

The aura it emitted was like an avalanche of ice and snow. The power that engulfed everything sent chills down people’s spines.

He would lose the courage to resist as long as he looked at it.

It was too terrifying.

He opened the attribute panel and glanced.

[Extraordinary Hunter – Ultimate Puppet, Level 20…]

This simple attribute caused the excitement in his heart to freeze on the spot.

An unconcealable fear surged into his heart.

‘F*ck! Level 20???’

‘Could a human complete this mission?!’

Thinking about how he had to rescue the Third Princess from an opponent of this level, his blood instantly turned cold.

It was still impossible even if given a troop ten or a hundred times sturdier!

But at this moment, his gaze suddenly saw the figure of a sleeping girl on the shoulder of the giant mechanical puppet.

The Third Princess!

Feng Ge’s pupils constricted.

He immediately recognized his target.

But the next second, he turned his attention to the person holding the Third Princess.

Who was this person? He could bravely stand on the shoulder of a level 20 extraordinary mechanical puppet. Were they partners?

He subconsciously opened the other party’s attribute panel.

There were only two words on it.

Qingqiu.
